They switched to Red Bird Records
and changed their group name to 'The Butterflys'. In August 1964 their
first single “Goodnight Baby” b/w “The Swim” was released and made it in the
middle of the Top 100. A second single—“I Wonder” b/w “Gee, Baby, Gee”—was
recorded and released at the end of 1964. This single bubbled under the Hot
100. The group broke up in 1965 for several reasons.
